"[Please retweet] I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen …Will prepare and cook as the buyer requests, at his chosen location."

Just days after Sugiyama's 22nd birthday, the artist underwent elective genital-removal surgery, divvied up the severed penis shaft, testicles, and scrotal skin between five people, and garnished it with button mushrooms and Italian parsley.

On April 13, five of six diners who signed up for the $250-a-plate feast, sat down to dinner. The sixth person was a no-show.

The next day, an organizer posted a blog -- subsequently deleted -- containing pictures of the event. Images showed dozens of people who attended the event just to catch a glimpse of the rare treat.

The extra diners were served crocodile-based dishes while Sugiyama cooked up the exclusive meal.

The story went viral in Japan. Some showed even more interest, while others complained. But Calorie Lab called Japanese authorities, who deemed the banquet legal because there is no law against cannibalism in the country.

Mao Sugiyama got surgery to remove his genitals, then cooked and served them to five lucky guests.
WARNING: You are about to see several pictures of cooked and uncooked genitalia. These pictures will be offensive to some.

Dozens showed up to the event in Japan, but most only got to eat crocodile.

Braised, garnished and served for $250.

It looks almost... palatable.
NOTE: The next slide is of the "meal," before it was cooked, frozen, and in a bag. You have been warned.
